Super Guppy arrival at MoFly with Shuttle FFT

A historical day of the NASA Super Guppy arriving at the Museum of Flight Seattle carrying the Shuttle Full Fuselage Trainer.

During my run at NASA-Johnson, I spent a fair amount of time in Building 9 Large Mockup Facility, including the FFT. I'm very happy to see my old friend again and that it's here to stay in Seattle.
